To Warn Users When Their Mail Store Usage is Approaching Their Mail Store Quota |
|
The message store quota enforcement allows administrators to limit the mail storage allocated to a user. This limit is called the message store quota. Once this feature is enabled, the system maintains a running tally of the disk space occupied by the user's messages. If the tally exceeds the specified message store quota, further mail will be bounced back to the sender. User's can also be warned when their mail store usage approaches their quota so they are not surprised when people cannot send mail to them.
Message Store quota enforcement is useful for Organizations that wish to limit the amount of mail storage a user's mailboxes can occupy. In addition, this feature allows ISPs to allocate a certain amount of mail storage to their customers and to easily increase that allocation if the customer requests or purchases more.
Note - Message store quota enforcement can only be used with the Sun Message Store. This feature will not work with other message stores such as /var/mail.
